Devils great start to the year continued as a 4-1 win against Rotherfield III saw Devils move into 3rd place in Division 10 on Saturday 6th February.

Devils started well against a strong wind with the team's passing style reaping rewards quickly as Sam played a through ball for Will who slotted past the keeper inside five minutes.

Rotherfield levelled from a disputed free-kick given after what appeared to be a great tackle by Shane but the referee saw this differently and the kick was whipped in with the wind past Carl in goal.

The next ten minutes saw Rotherfield create further chances but Carl made some good claims to keep the scores level. As Devils regained composure the midfield battled well to release Matt and Will but it was Addy who made the key contribution to restoring the lead as he squared for Rickie to knock home from close range.

Playing with the wind in the second half Devils attacking players found space to collect long clearances by Carl and after a few changes were made and fresh legs introduced Ravi managed to collect a loose ball to slot home and make it 3-1.

Rotherfield continued to battle and try to nick a goal on the break but Devils back four continued to give a strong performance and with fifteen minutes left Devils made the points safe as Sam drove in a corner and man of the match Rickie finished a powerful run with a strong header into the net for his second goal of the game.

The three points sees Devils move above Lindfield V into 3rd place in Division 10 ahead of a trip to leaders Ardingly III on Saturday (13th).
